Hoe ervaren en gebruiken studenten weblectures?

Whitepaper van Echo 360 getiteld Capturing student perspectives about lecture recordings (13 pagina's). Men komt tot de conclusie dat:
1. Lecture capture is broadly used by students when given the option to do so
2. Lecture capture has a direct, positive impact on student comprehension and understanding, regardless of their course of study or enrollment status
3. Students view lecture capture as a very important course resource more often than any other technology or tool

Met betrekking tot aan- en afwezigheid bij de live colleges wordt opgemerkt:

Perhaps the most controversial issue surrounding the use of lecture capture technologies is attendance. The two principle considerations relating to attendance are:
1. To what extent does the presence of lecture capture encourage students to not attend class when they may have otherwise?
2. What is the impact of students not attending class if the fi rst consideration is true? Does it change the student’s learning outcomes, impact the professor or otherwise affect the students that do attend the class?

Het was echter nadrukkelijk niet de bedoeling van deze studie zich hierover uit te spreken, maar:

When asked about their class absences, 65 percent were absent less than two times during the term. Only 15 percent missed fi ve or more classes. Of those students who missed class, a decisive 97 percent said they used the lecture recordings to catch up.
